GLE Position Paper:
Pan-European Standardization of Gas Quality Specifications
4 November 2011

With European natural gas production in decline but consumption generally predicted to increase over the following decades, Europe is expected to become even more dependent upon gas imports with LNG playing a very important role. LNG has proved to be a globally flexible, competitive and reliable source of energy, providing security of supply in the mix of gas import options.

The European Commission is looking at the harmonisation of the gas quality specifications across European Union in order to create effective interoperability of gas networks and facilitating a free trade of gas by lifting local gas quality barriers. Consequently, the European Commission has mandated CEN (Mandate M/400) to draw up gas specification standards in order to create a competitive single European gas market according to the Directive 2003/55/EC. The Mandate consists of two phases; the first consists in analysing the impact of gas quality fluctuations (Wobbe Index and density) on gas appliances falling under the GAD; and the second in creating EU standards for both combustion and non-combustion parameters.
